    Dude, such a polished video and an awesome project! Your command of the tools are impressive, and the overall vision for this thing is amazing. How dare you continue to use the jigsaw for hole cutting though 😂 I expect to see more helmet quick changes in part 2. The world is always a better place when my friend Ron releases content 😊 Thanks for an awesome video bro 😊

      Thanks buddy, means a lot coming from you! And yes, more helmets to come!

    'pillaging in the garbage' contributed significantly to the birth of my current project. The giant 'skip' and the recycle bins at my workplace were indispensible... Ever grateful for other people's trash 😄.
    Glad for the 'tool tips' you give and assembly techniques you explain throughout the video by the way; I don't have workshop experience but use handtools; those tips were certainly eye openers and will come in handy I'm sure.

    I've been out of the arcade scene for quite a while - yet YT obviously remembered and suggested this to me.
    I have an old Namco Excellena 2 Candy cab that I stripped, refurbished and repainted a decade ago and running MAME on an old PC.
    The only issue is that it still has the CRT monitor in it - it works, but one day I'm going to have to work out how to put an LCD in it.
    Might build a brand new frame out of plywood, much like you have done, that holds the LCD in place, rather than try and modify the plastic frame.

    • @CGRTist
      @CGRTist  9 месяцев назад

      Oh man, Good luck! It's cool that the CRT is still functional!

    i have a small question pls, why some arcade consoles have 6 action buttons and other some have 8 ? which game we can play with 8 buttons ?

    • @CGRTist
      @CGRTist  Месяц назад +1

      The reason for 8 buttoned is mainly for cones games. The extra buttons can be configured for something like L1, R1 and R1, R2 depending on which console you're emulating.

    Hi CGR,
    Just bought your DIY-plans. I live in Sweden, here we use metric system. You don’t happen to have the plans in mm? I’m not very sure how to convert inches to mm. I know that you multiply by 25,4 to get mm. But how do i multiply 19 7/8” for example? And for instance 29” in mm = 736,6mm. Very odd measure in mm. I know there’s converters online, but I’m not really sure how to enter 19 7/8” for example.
    Sorry I’m a bit slow.

      Yes, it's super easy to modify the plans to your liking. The footprint is 32" x 25".

      Awesome. Thanks. I’ll grab the CNC plans soon. I work at a cabinet shop and will get a buddy in drafting to help modify it and run it on our CNC machines. Debating using black melamine MDF, but not sure yet.
      Looking forward to part 2.
